Easy, in that situation, put it in manual mode. I do this several times a week just for the fun factor.

In the 2013 FRS in manual mode the transmission:
  • Only upshifts when you tell it to.
    Will only downshift if the car was going to stall.
    Will bounce off the rev limiter all day until you switch gears.
    Will skip gears if you double or even triple tap in either direction.
    Will get to 60MPH in second gear
